This one made my top 8, not because it’s beach front, but because of it’s unique renting capability. Los Playas Eco Casita Village sits back in the jungle setting with maybe about a 5 or 10 min walk to the beach, but it’s been built and carefully thought out to accommodate big groups of people. Like really big. There are 9 complete 2 and 3 bedroom homes to rent (you can rent them individually) but the ideal for this spot is to have one little community for you and your group. It comes with your own pool, yoga palapa and very nicely landscaped grounds and pathways that will allow to to jump from house to house when you want to go visit any of your buddies. Oh and don’t fret on the whole not being right at the ocean. NSR has a small fleet of duel sport motos (even with optional surf racks) to rent to you and your group so you can check the waves in seconds! If you’re a big group or retreat looking for your own mini village…. this is the PLACE!!!!
